1. Download source code

2. Compile dalvik vm on Ubuntu 11.10 X64

1	source build/envsetup.sh

2	lunch 2 # choose full_x86-eng, because we want to run it on X86 directly

3	make dalvikvm core dexopt ext framework android.policy services -j2

3. vi rund, and then: ./rund - cp Foo.jar Foo

make dalvikvm core dexopt ext framework android.policy services -j2

use the above rund script or:

Target 3: GDB dalvik
Running dalvikvm in x86 need some preparation:
1, Set up Android_Root. The Android_Root is set to host dictionary, ANDROID_ROOT=/home/user/android_src_2.3.4/out/host/linux-x86/. (Not target dictionary because we actually running dalvik in x86 platform)
2, Set ANDROID_DATA.
export ANDROID_DATA=/tmp/dalvik_$USER
mkdir -p $ANDROID_DATA/dalvik-cache
This is totally unnecessary but however android choose to do this.
3, Set pre-load Java libraries
export DALVIK_VM_INIT_CLASS_PATH=/home/lijian/android_src_2.3.4/out/target/product/generic/system/framework/core.jar:/home/lijian/android_src_2.3.4/out/target/product/generic/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/home/lijian/android_src_2.3.4/out/target/product/generic/system/framework/services.jar:/home/lijian/android_src_2.3.4/out/target/product/generic/system/framework/framework.jar:/home/lijian/android_src_2.3.4/out/target/product/generic/system/framework/ext.jar
(Note: The *.jar file are all in target dictionary because all Java files in host dictionary are NOT compiled into dex form. This is strange to debug dalvik in x86 platform but will be more simple if you debug in Arm directly).

And then use Javac and dx compile a HelloWorld

Run dalvik:

./out/host/linux-x86/bin/dalvikvm -Xbootclasspath:$DALVIK_VM_INIT_CLASS_PATH -cp foo.jar Foo
Hello, world

Using GDB like
gdb -args ./out/host/linux-x86/bin/dalvikvm -Xbootclasspath:$DALVIK_VM_INIT_CLASS_PATH -cp foo.jar Foo
